The contract price shall be strictly inclusive of all shipping, customs, travel, and logistical expenses required for execution. Note 2: Technical Specifications & Local Compatibility Because these appliances are intended for "Off-Post" use (in local Japanese housing off-base), all products MUST strictly comply with Japanese electrical standards (100V / 50Hz for the Kanto/Camp Zama region) and possess necessary local safety certifications (e.g., PSE mark).
